v1.2.3

on Ruby Gems

Security

• Verify caller-supplied ID tokens against Google's published signing keys before trusting them. An ID token sent alongside a direct access_token callback was previously decoded without checking its signature, so extra.id_info and extra.id_token could be populated from a forged token. uid and info were never affected, as they come from the userinfo endpoint. A caller-supplied ID token genuinely issued by Google for the same user and a trusted client continues to be accepted after verification.
• Require a caller-supplied ID token to describe the same user as the access token it was sent with, by comparing the token's sub against the userinfo subject. A verified signature only proves Google issued the token, not that it belongs to the person the access token identifies, so without this a genuine ID token for one user could be paired with an access token for another and leave uid and extra.id_info describing different people. The at_hash claim is checked first as a fast path, and this subject check settles the cases at_hash cannot: tokens that omit the claim, and tokens whose at_hash is stale because the client refreshed its access token after sign-in. This check runs even when skip_info is set, as that option trims the auth hash rather than waiving verification.
• The bundled example app no longer disables TLS certificate verification. Anyone who copied that line into an application should remove it: it turns off certificate checking for every Faraday-based request in the process, not just the ones this gem makes.

Added

• reset_jwks_cache! for clearing the cached Google signing keys between tests.
• cached_jwks, the class-level fetch-and-cache primitive behind it, which takes the fetch itself as a block.
• JWKS_URL, JWKS_CACHE_TTL, and JWKS_RETRY_INTERVAL constants, and a JwksUnavailable error.
• An upper bound of < 4 on the jwt dependency. This is precautionary rather than a response to a released version: it keeps a future major release from being picked up before it has been verified against this strategy.

Deprecated

• Nothing.

Removed

• The fallback that placed the opaque access token in extra.id_token when no ID token was present. extra.id_token is now absent in that case rather than holding a value that was never an ID token. This was only reachable with skip_jwt set; without it the fallback raised instead.

Fixed

• Ignore every credential field a caller supplies in a direct access-token callback apart from the access token itself and a verified ID token. refresh_token and token expiry in particular cannot be verified, so they are no longer carried through.
• Avoid decoding opaque access tokens as JWTs when no ID token is available.
• Fail with a normal authentication failure when a callback carries no usable credential, such as an ID token with no access token, a JSON body that is not an object, or an unparseable body. Previously these raised a NoMethodError or TypeError that OmniAuth turned into a failure whose message was the raw Ruby error, so applications received an unstable message parameter such as undefined method 'expired?' instead of invalid_credentials.
• Serve the cached signing keys when Google's key endpoint is briefly unreachable, and back off before refetching, rather than retrying on every request, including when nothing is cached yet.
• Reject a signing key response that is not an object with a keys array, rather than passing it on to be interpreted as some other kind of key.
• Cap how often an ID token naming an unrecognised key can force a key refresh, so it cannot be used to drive unbounded outbound requests while holding the shared cache lock. Key rotation still resolves within JWKS_RETRY_INTERVAL.
• jwt_leeway now also applies when verifying caller-supplied ID tokens, matching how it already behaved for the extra block.
• Support non-rewindable JSON request bodies under Rack 3.
• Accept ID tokens issued to any configured authorized_client_ids, matching the audiences already accepted for access tokens.
• Reuse successfully verified ID token claims when building extra, so each ID token is decoded and validated only once per request.
